## Usage

```tsx
import { Spinner } from "@/components/ui/spinner"
```

```tsx
<Spinner />
```

## Customization

You can replace the default spinner icon with any other icon by editing the `Spinner` component.

<ComponentPreview styleName="radix-nova" name="spinner-custom" />

```tsx showLineNumbers title="components/ui/spinner.tsx"
import { LoaderIcon } from "lucide-react"

import { cn } from "@/lib/utils"

function Spinner({ className, ...props }: React.ComponentProps<"svg">) {
  return (
    <LoaderIcon
      role="status"
      aria-label="Loading"
      className={cn("size-4 animate-spin", className)}
      {...props}
    />
  )
}

export { Spinner }
```

## Size

Use the `size-*` utility class to change the size of the spinner.
